Dear All, Can you help please?
Automatic Updates problem.
I have recentl upgraded to the new update Microsoft Automatic Update version and ever since have been having problems. I have been able in the interim download the necessary critical updates etc directly from the Microsoft site, so the good news is the computer is up to date.
I have been to the Microsft site and viewed numerous papers and entered the error codes into their search/ gone to Google etc and after many hours of searching for the answer - but to no avail as they either do not recognise the error code or the direction to fix is not pertinent.
FYI, I am running Win2000 (SP4) and IE 6.0 (SP1)
I have uninstalled Windows update an started again. It still goes through all the correct scanning, tries to download and then reports with a failed download:-
Installation Failure
Error Code: 0x80246008
Try to install the update again, or request help from one of the following resources.

Description:
The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service terminated with service-specific error 2147942402.
When I also go to Services, BITS is stopped and if I try to start I get ....... service-specific error code- 2147024894

First, download and apply the BITS patch from Microsoft (available here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b93356b1-ba43-480f-983d-eb19368f9047&DisplayLang=en) – sorry about the long URL, blame Microsoft…
This is KB842773.

If that doesn’t work, break out your original install media (the Windows 2000 install CD if possible) and run a repair. You’ll have to re-apply service packs and security updates, so try the KB842773 route first….
